My Mom used to keep our yearly calenders as a family journal of sorts. It was fun for us to look back over the year and see things written down for each of us, like "Sarah to Wellsville parade 8:00 am", or "Alex-Dentist 3:30", "Jenna-9th grade registration 4:00-7:00pm", "Elder Norr Transfer to Denton." We especially liked to see our own birthdays highlighted. Mom would write our name and age really cute and fill up the whole square. I don't think I have ever told her how much I liked that.
I know these pictures are a bit hard to read, but I think it's fun that a part of our summer 2011 is recorded forever. I realize that this isn't vital family information, but someday it might be fun to remember that I had Key Scouters meetings, and how many hours DJ worked each day, and when baby girl #3's ultrasound was (Every Saturday there is a faint green number that records how many weeks along we are!), and how many derby's we actually went to.
I keep all of my calenders too. My favorite is 2006, the year Talia was born. There are some pretty tender days to recall, like "Talia's 2 month checkup 10:00 am". However, eventually most of them end up as free artwork in my decorating schemes. This years calender is of light houses. I've already got an idea of how to use my favorite photo come December 31st.
